The Lies of Locke Lamora + Foundryside + First Law | The Silverblood Promise by James Logan

[@mikesbookreviews]

Debating breaking my TBR for this since they sent me an ARC (even though it comes out tomorrow ha ha)

[@PetrikLeo]

It's a fun book, Mike! I hope it will work out for you. 😄

[@Michael_L_Morrison]

I read it last week. I enjoyed it a lot. I had fun with this book.

[@PetrikLeo]

Glad to hear that! It's a really fun book, imo. Even if it doesn't bring anything new to the genre. Good old fun! :)

[@zenthepoet.]

Don't trip... new video from Petrik!

[@PetrikLeo]

Thank you, Zen! :D

[@zenthepoet.]

@@PetrikLeo welcome!

[@ChaptersWeLove]

I LOVE The Lies Of Locke Lamora, adding this to my 2024 list. Great review!

[@PetrikLeo]

Thank you! This has a similar vibe to Locke Lamora, but it's certainly its own work! :)

[@ThisGuySG]

My TBR list gets longer and longer thanks to you Petrik.

[@PetrikLeo]

You're welcome! :D

[@ellendodd496]

Petrik we're going to need a reminder next year when it's closer to release date please! Keen on this one

[@PetrikLeo]

Will do!! 😁😁

[@LeonC0704]

this is your friendly reminder

[@ellendodd496]

You're doing gods work 😂

[@LeonC0704]

@@ellendodd496 hahaha thanks!

[@esmayrosalyne]

If it was your mission to literally mention ALL of my buzzwords in fantasy then you succeeded, hahah. This sounds really great, April can't come soon enough! Happy for you that you got to read it so early, thanks for getting the hype train going early!!

[@PetrikLeo]

Thank you so much, Esmay! It was such a fun book, imo. I will make sure to give some hype to it when April is here! :)

[@kingfisher9725]

Definitely on my list and already pre-ordered!

[@PetrikLeo]

It's such a fun book. I hope more people will have a great time with it later! :)

[@Jed_Herne]

Love the cover for The Silverblood Promise!

[@PetrikLeo]

It's gorgeous! 😍

[@kingfisher9725]

I've just finished the Silverblood Promise. It was quite nice in the beginning, but actually the characters grew on me the more I read. The world and its history became more complex as well. So I will definitely read the sequel as well!

[@PetrikLeo]

Glad you enjoyed it! It was fun and engaging. I had a blast reading it! :)

[@liviajelliot]

That is such a curious mix of books and tropes! Looking forward to its release - besides, that cover is outright gorgeous!

[@PetrikLeo]

I know right? The cover is breathtaking! 🤩

[@jessezigg]

You have me hooked! I can't wait!

[@PetrikLeo]

Woohoo! I hope you will like it!!

[@yellowcityflyfishing]

Dude your video title alone has me hyped for this!

[@PetrikLeo]

It's such a fun book! I think readers will have a great time reading it. 😃

[@jujubean9063]

Remind me about that book in April. I’ll give it a read. Who will narrate the audiobook and when will that be released? That will help me decide whether to get the audiobook or an actual copy.

[@PetrikLeo]

Audiobook will be releaed on the same day of the US release date. So May 7th 2024. No confirmation on who the narrator is yet, though!

[@jujubean9063]

Thank you Petrik!

[@NerdBookReview]

Sounds like an intriguing book! I'll have to add it to my TBR.

[@PetrikLeo]

Awesome! I hope you'll like it! :)

[@k-majik]

Pre-ordered. Looks fantastic, hits so many of my favourite fantasy tropes and I love the sound of the tone, thanks as always for such an evocative review Petrik!!

[@PetrikLeo]

I have a big soft spot for badass and a child trope. So weak to it hahaha. I hope you'll enjoy it when it arrives! :)

[@sublime053]

Will definitely add this to my list. I watched a best of 2022 video you did (i think it was 2022) and picked a few books up from that list. About 75% done with swan song and love it. Nice video!

[@PetrikLeo]

Thank you! Oh, Swan Song was incredible. I'm so late getting around to that. 😂 Glad you're loving the book! 😃

[@book_scent]

Fantastic review, Petrik! Glad to see you enjoyed it 😃 It's definitely on my TBR, the cover alone had me instantly intrigued!!

[@PetrikLeo]

Thank you so much, Karin! The cover art will look so good on hardcover! :D

[@amy_harboredinpages8272]

As soon as you mentioned "jokes at inappropriate times" I had to add it to my Want To Read list. And it was done before your video ended... also added Foundryside

[@PetrikLeo]

Awesome! I hope you'll love The Silverblood Promise and Foundryside! :)

[@randamnlee6259]

Lol. I’ll have to add this to my TBR since I have been told I have a similar habit to Lukas. 😅😅😅

[@PetrikLeo]

Can't say I'm not guilty, too... has happened to the best of us. 🤣🤣

[@indyman_123]

*Petrik dropping yet another video* : *My TBR* : Ah sheeet, here we go again... 😂 Honestly though, it's an exciting premise to go along with an amazing cover art.

[@PetrikLeo]

Hahahaha! 🤣🤣 So sorry to your TBR. But to be fair, I'm encountering the same situation!

[@Yannis-dq6ri]

Loved the review! Can’t wait to get this book… loved the LoLL and this books sounds like it has a similar vibe. Thanks for the review Petrik.

[@PetrikLeo]

Thank you, and you're welcome! Yup! The vibe of Locke Lamora is the one I felt when I read Silverblood. And also, the foul-mouthed characters and banter. xD

[@mariareadsssf]

Thanks for the recommendation. I just discovered the bada$$ and the child thrope in "Godkiller" by Hannah Kaner, a fun debut with some lore and adventure.

[@PetrikLeo]

Godkiller is another one I hope to read next year! Most likely late 2024.

[@lordramoth3416]

Just preordered based on your thumbnail! Watching the video now 😎😎🙏

[@PetrikLeo]

Awesome! I hope you'll enjoy it when it arrived! :)

[@alex593-x5x]

Preordered it, now I have to forget my hype for 7 months!

[@PetrikLeo]

I will remind you again when it's near! 😃

[@fcsolis]

I'm interested. I should read Foundryside as well. Thank you.

[@PetrikLeo]

Cheers, Ferdinand! You're welcome!

[@Talking_Story]

I will have to put this 1 on my radar!

[@PetrikLeo]

Yess do it! Some lines and dialogues made me laugh! 🤣

[@Talking_Story]

I love Gentlemen Bastards and Mistborn so I am thinking this can't miss for me.@@PetrikLeo

[@paulelliott3220]

Excellent review Definitely on my list for getting next year

[@PetrikLeo]

Thank you, Paul! Such an entertaining book! 🙂

[@LimeymanZero]

That sounds really interesting, so glad I started Lies before you made this video, really close to finishing that now and I'm way more intrigued than I think I might have been. Going to get on the preored asap for this one I think.

[@PetrikLeo]

Wonderful! And argh... The Lies of Locke Lamora is another book that I want to reread, and reading this just made me want to read it again.

[@ViperRT99]

Really with there were a world & city map.

[@PetrikLeo]

Me too! :D

[@safinan8008]

Thank you 🙏 for the review, I also follow the author on Instagram too. I’m looking forward to read this book too!! Have a great weekend!! 🎉🎉🍂🍁

[@PetrikLeo]

You're welcome. Thank you for watching!! 😄 have a great weekend, too!

[@brokenredflag]

Hmmm. Intresting. Fantastic job on your resume on this book. I liked it. Things i liked to are cards, if i see it in barns and noble i mayyyy buy it. Take care petrick. 😌❤

[@PetrikLeo]

Thank you! :)

[@s.p.8508]

That sounds eerily similar to the plot of In the Shadow of Lightning by Brian McClellen (although I only read the first 20% or so of that book, I completely forgot about it until now).

[@PetrikLeo]

I'll be stressed if it's similar to In The Shadow of Lightning. Content is nothing similar at all. I barely managed to finish that book. So damn boring and okay-ish. Gave it 2.5 stars.

[@s.p.8508]

@@PetrikLeo oh, that’s good.

[@mitchell8867]

I hope you don’t mind that I told those on reddit about your giveaway, while also promoting your channel. I don’t normally do that kind of thing, but I’ve been really enjoying your content at a time when I’ve been feeling pretty lousy and I feel that’s an appropriate way of showing my appreciation✌️❤️ Thanks for everything, and good luck to everyone with the giveaway. TBI from CK is a masterpiece, so happy and lucky to own one myself

[@PetrikLeo]

I don't mind at all! Thank you for the kind words. I can't promise on when yet, I have some details I need to take care first and life has been insanely busy for me. But once I have everything worked out, I will announce the giveaway!

[@BooksWithBenghisKahn]

This review has gotten me so intrigued to try this one! It really sounds like something I might love

[@PetrikLeo]

Thank you! It's such a fun book in a relatively dark setting! 😄

[@lululala4658]

Hi Petrik ! This sound fantastic, I’m definitely bying the book. I Loved the lies of Locke lamorra and should read foundryside next january. Could you tell me if this book is somewhat self-contained, or if it ends with a lot of questions/cliffhangers ? Just so I know where to put it in my tbr 😊

[@PetrikLeo]

Definitely self contained and no cliffhanger. If you've read Lies of Locke Lamora, it pretty much ended satisfyingly like that!

[@lululala4658]

@@PetrikLeo nice ! So absolutely perfect in that regard, then. I'm bumping it up up up in my tbr, thanks ❤️

[@arlissbunny]

Preordered.

[@PetrikLeo]

I think you'll enjoy it! :)

[@Transformers217]

It’s coming out in May of next year for us Americans. 😢

[@PetrikLeo]

Not too different from the UK. UK edition is in late April. :)

[@Transformers217]

@@PetrikLeo - Good for them. We still have to wait longer! Lol

[@heretic124]

Do you know if this is planned to be a trilogy or something bigger?

[@PetrikLeo]

Definitely a trilogy!

[@fantasyfanatic6038]

Sounds interesting! Is it a self-published book?

[@PetrikLeo]

Nope! Will be published by Tor Books in US and Jo Fletcher in UK! :)

[@spilchsaysstuff1427]

Sold. The synopsis and your description of the two main characters. Sold. And that cover....ooooo. but I just know that's the US version and the UK version is going to be super boring.

[@PetrikLeo]

Don't worry about it. The US and the UK cover will have the same cover art!! 😃

[@davidercolano7375]

Pre-Ordered...is there a hardcover release too?

[@PetrikLeo]

Yeah! Only in the UK I think. I included the links in the description for US paperback and UK hardcover!

[@kaustubhdudhane]

Fantastic review Petrik! Very much excited about its release now. I highly doubt that there is any chance of getting its physical copy in India.😢

[@PetrikLeo]

Thank you so much! Argghhh I hope you'll get a copy. Do Blackwells send books to you? It's possible to buy the book there.

[@DashWatson]

Have you watched The Sword of the Stranger anime movie, animated by Madhouse and Yutaka Nakamura with probably the best animation in any anime movie I've ever seen? It's a beautiful anime with the badass and the kid trope. Also, another similar underhyped anime with a strong female badass and a kid is Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit. Do give them a try if you haven't and see if you end up liking them.

[@PetrikLeo]

Already watched them both. I watched Sword of the Stranger 7x. One of my favorite movies. The battle between Nanashi at the end is impeccable. 😃

[@DashWatson]

@@PetrikLeo You've got pretty good taste in anime too, I see. 😏

[@PetrikLeo]

@@DashWatson haha thank you. I watched a lot of anime and read tons of manga. Almost 3 decades of consuming anime and manga now. Much longer than how long I read fantasy novels. 😂

[@DashWatson]

@@PetrikLeo Great! Something similar with me too. Any specific currently airing anime you're following this season or this year?

[@PetrikLeo]

​@@DashWatsonI've been watching Frieren and Jujutsu Kaisen Shibuya Arc. Will watch Pluto and Blue Eye Samurai soon!
